Description

THIS IS DAYZ, THIS IS YOUR STORY
DayZ is an unforgiving, authentic, open world sandbox online game where each one of 60 players on a server follows a single goal - to survive as long as they can, by all means necessary. There are no superficial tips, waypoints, built-in tutorials or help given to you. Every decision matters - with no save games, and no extra lives, every mistake can be lethal. If you fail, you lose everything and start over.
Scavenging for supplies and roaming the open world never feels safe in DayZ, as you never know what's behind the next corner. Hostile player interactions, or simply just struggling through severe weather can easily turn into intense, nerve-racking moments where you experience very real emotions. On the other hand, meeting with another friendly survivor in DayZ can lead to a true friendship that lasts a lifetime...
Your choices and your decisions create a gameplay experience that's completely unique and unequivocally personal - unmatched by any other multiplayer game out there. This is DayZ, this is your story.

An honest "full release" review...

This is my 2nd review now that this game went from 20$ review to 50$ full release. Cities have 💩 frame drops, player base is toxic and if you have a mic its useless because no one talks, zombies will clip through walls and other objects and can kill you from 5 feet away with their back towards you. Many items are broken now even ones previously fixed in preview. Players spent days and weeks in a database lock and couldnt play the game at all. Now players are dealing with 45 day spawn wait times. Guns are broken, food is broken, healing is broken, its all broken. Fully geared players who got locked out had to tweet bohemia and have them kill them in game. Sending feedback seems useless and our messages might be better in a trash fire because speaking about it will get you reported to microsoft and they will remove any comments talking about their game truthfully. There are no refunds, no customer support no replies from the developers with any truth to them no gameplay no community.

Review title of Dirtman73There's no way DayZ is ready for "full release"

I can't believe Microsoft allowed this game to be released in its current condition -- DayZ is still buggy, still janky, still laggy, still broken. The devs made almost no improvements to technical issues, and it plays just like it did when it first arrived on Xbox. What a freakin' disappointment.
I was willing to give Bohemia a chance when DayZ finally came to console land, but they've really screwed the pooch with this version.
I hope MS are prepared for the slew of refund requests coming their way from angry gamers.

Review title of AbnormalyDeadly1.01 "Full Release"

1.01 added 2 new guns, a scope and a ton of different tweaks to sound, inventory, bleeding etc. My biggest complaint is cities stutter/freeze the game and the framerate drops low when in or close to a bigger city, the game runs good outside of cities but still stutters sometimes. The framerate also seems to get worse the longer you play. The game has been getting regular updates and will hopefully continue to.
Dayz is a unique game and there are not any other games like it out on Xbox. The game isn't for everybody, The controls take time to get use to but once you figure out what you are doing its pretty easy. A lot of new people struggle to find food and water(theres a lot of food next to rowboats on the beach). Other players will kill you on sight even if you are a fresh spawn and sometimes there's a lot of running around and looting and you might not see anybody.

Was having a swell time in-game been playing with my buddy for a couple days was geared up had an assault rifle 6 mags all loaded field backback, meds, and was in the process of getting a car put together. I was telling my friends that all though buggy if you played carefully you wouldn't die to zombies. All we needed was one last piece... I log onto the server, and my character spawned on the beach completely reset. I always sit out the exit screen I didn't die. After hours of running around the map for parts its all gone. ITS F****** GONE. I don't even feel mad I've just lost all will to play this game. Funny thing is i convinced my buddy to buy this game yesterday. Told him I could give him some stuff that it'd be "fun". I stopped playing Seven Days to Die because of this same reason. Imagine playing destiny and after you grinded to the point where you can start to think about end game your character reset with no promise it wouldn't happen again. Won't be playing for a long time

Review title of CoDe ReD NinjaNot worth it yet, save your $. Fun at times many issues

1.2 UPDATE REVIEW**Third impressions are mixed. Cities have more lag, total audio loss at times, audio inconsistency. Some bugs fixed, more introduced. Controls changed but not in a good way. Inventory runs and looks better most of the time. Duping and meatballing still around. Duping (glitching two of something) is causing the new guns/gear to not spawn, devs confirmed this. Cars still dangerous. Loot is plentiful except the coast. Still push to talk. My GamePreview review still stands**Will update more* Extremely low fps in cities with players. When by yourself some areas are ok, but there are fps drops with random major stutter that lasts a few seconds which gets you killed by infected or players. Combat is frustrating to say the least. Players can be stun locked disabling movment. Guns and shoot outs are random at best. (First bullet lag/bullets that do nothing/shots way off target) Some jump servers to get behind you, into your base, when they get shot, or when it's night time.

Review title of GoodFellowSmokeDo NOT buy

Single digit Frames Per Second and total audio loss in towns. It's also crawling with people duplicating gear. This is a strict DO NOT BUY until they fix the performance, and stop the cheaters. 1.0 is an even worse experience than before, they lowered the graphics settings so it went from visually stunning to downright ugly. Oh, but guess what? The performance and freezing is even worse than game preview.
